Is your transmit power level normal, 10 watts or more on most bands with a 
14 volt supply.  Most of the alignment is in the band pass filter and will 
affect tx power as well.  If the alignment is ok then check the alc 
voltage, this can be turned off in one of the menus to see if that helps. 
This was a problem in some of the rigs.



That should be avc not alc.
